    Chapter 0802 Pan Long Xuan

    This sealed wasteland of the Ancient Remnants was fairly lacking in resources due to the presence of the Forbidden Death City, which had long absorbed the spiritual energy from the land to sustain the sealing power required for the ancient confinement.

    The Forbidden Death City had nearly drained the energy of the Ancient Remnants' barren realm, causing the seal to weaken over time. Thus, this barren realm wasn't very appealing for Bao Changshou, Jian Shitian, and the others.

    For years, they had been searching for a good wasteland to settle in and establish their sects. Yet, they had never succeeded.

    Rumor had it that most of the prime wastelands were located within the Mystic Domains of the Spirit Wastelands!

    Jian Shitian and Bao Changshou each led their own people back to their respective sects.

    Bao Changshou brought out his flying ark, allowing everyone to board before quickly heading off for the Immortal Armaments City.

    Xiao Yuemei also returned to the Immortal Armaments City with Bao Changshou and the others.

    Reflecting on their journey through the Forbidden Death City, she couldn’t shake the feeling of how dangerous it had been.

    "Sister Linglong, I didn’t see Sister Baozi or Sister Shui. I don’t know how they’re doing!" Xiao Yuemei was really worried, as Qin Yun hadn’t told her anything about them.

    "They…" Jian Linglong didn’t want to go on.

    Jian Ruyan’s eyes suddenly welled up at the thought.

    Tears poured uncontrollably down Xiao Yuemei’s face. She had grown very close to Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, thinking of them as sisters. Now, they were suddenly gone.

    Qin Yun sat beside Jian Linglong, leaning against her with his eyes closed, looking completely drained.

    "Brother, are they… dead?" Xiao Yuemei sobbed sorrowfully.

    "Don’t be silly, I would never let them die!" Qin Yun slowly opened his eyes and gave a weak smile.

    "Then where are they?" Jian Ruyan’s mood lifted a little.

    Xiao Yuemei wiped her tears and lightly smacked Qin Yun. "Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

    Jian Linglong sighed deeply and asked, "Qin Yun, where are they now?"

    Bao Changshou frowned. "Qin Yun, are they still beneath the Forbidden Death City?"

    Qin Yun shook his head. "They were cursed by someone from the Long Family. The curse causes them agonizing pain that comes and goes. I’ve sealed them away and stored them in one of my storage artifacts."

    He had entrusted Shui Tianzi and Zi Qingcheng to Yao Fang.

    Yao Fang, who had suffered from a curse for years, was better at dealing with this kind of thing.

    She was able to break the Long Family’s curse, though it would take a long time.

    Thus, Qin Yun planned to visit the Long Family’s headquarters in Tenglong Province.

    He explained the curse situation to the elders, including Bao Changshou.

    Their faces darkened upon hearing it.

    Chu Binyu sighed and shook his head. "This is bad news! It’s one of the Long Family’s most formidable techniques—the Soul-Sundering Heart-Crushing Curse. The pain is akin to having one’s soul torn apart and heart shattered, happening over and over!"

    "Thankfully, the two sisters are sealed! Otherwise, they would surely be in great pain!" Xiao Yuemei's small face suddenly filled with anger. "Those Long family bastards, I’ll make them pay!"

    Jian Linglong asked softly, "Qin Yun, you’re going to the Long family in Tenglong State, right?"

    Xiao Yuemei quickly shouted, "I’m going too!"

    Jian Ruyan and Jian Linglong also looked at Qin Yun, both wanting to accompany him.

    "Yuemei, you need to go back to Yaoyue Island for now," Qin Yun said.

    Xiao Yuemei, remembering she needed to suppress her soul, could only mutter in frustration.

    "I’ll handle this alone! I’ve got backup!" Qin Yun smiled. "I want to rest for a while. My injuries aren’t that bad."

    Jian Linglong led Qin Yun up and escorted him to a quiet chamber.

    Once inside, Qin Yun let Lan Suyao out.

    Lan Suyao was badly hurt. After checking her over, Qin Yun sighed to himself.

    "Xiao Yun, Sister Bingxing should be able to heal her wounds," Ling Yuner said. "Sister Yaofang already got her two Sacred Eyes back. I wonder if they can be reattached."

    Even with her terrible injuries and the loss of her Sacred Eyes, Lan Suyao’s will to live remained strong, and she was still conscious.

    "Qin Yun, how are Qingcheng and Tianzi? Are they alright?" Lan Suyao’s lips moved faintly, her voice just a whisper.

    But Qin Yun could hear her clearly.

    "Their condition has stabilized, but yours is worse," Qin Yun sighed deeply, then channeled his energy into her to stabilize her condition.

    He planned to return to the Immortal Soldier Palace and have Bingxing reattach Lan Suyao’s eyes.

    "As long as they’re fine," Lan Suyao murmured softly.

    Qin Yun felt an inexplicable ache in his heart as he looked at her bloodied eye sockets.

    Originally, he had disliked Lan Suyao intensely. Yet, she had shown such deep concern for Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, nearly dying to save them.

    Qin Yun found it strange—Shui Tianzi and Zi Qingcheng hadn’t known Lan Suyao for long, yet their bond seemed incredibly strong.

    ...

    After days of flying, Bao Changshou and his group finally returned to the Immortal Soldier City.

    After bidding farewell to Qin Yun, Xiao Yuemei left reluctantly with Jian Linglong, who escorted her back to Yaoyue Island.

    After resting for several days, Qin Yun was feeling a bit better, though he still wasn’t fully healed.

    Upon his return, he hurried to the Immortal Soldier Hall.

    Bingxing sat quietly absorbing immortal energy from the celestial pool, cultivating the CelestialDemonic Sacred Body Art. The second Qin Yun walked in, she sensed his unstable energy and immediately flew over.

    Qin Yun was surprised—he had just stepped inside when the white-robed Star Spirit Fairy rushed over like a startled bird.

    "How’d you get hurt this bad?" Bingxing frowned.

    "A lot happened... It’s a long story," Qin Yun said with a sigh, then walked to the celestial pool and laid the badly hurt Lan Suyao next to it.

    "Is this another one of yours?" Bingxing looked at Lan Suyao, her brow furrowing. "She’s from the Ancient Remnants..."

    Qin Yun also told Bingxing about entering the Forbidden Dead City.

    Bingxing listened while helping Lan Suyao treat her wounds.

    "I'll handle her external wounds first!" Bingxing took Lan Suyao into the Immortal Pool, washing away the blood from her body.

    Lan Suyao regained some awareness, aware that a powerful woman was cleansing her, and felt something strange.

    Qin Yun went below the Immortal Pool into the Immortal Essence, where he saw Lan Suyao wearing Bingxing’s white robe, resting peacefully on the Sun Moon Celestial Bed.

    He took out the two Saint Eyes and handed them to Bingxing, saying, "Sister Bingxing, these are her Saint Eyes. Can you put them back? They hold her greatest power!"

    "It should be possible! Her condition is only stable for now, but she’ll need more time to fully recover." Bingxing took the Saint Eyes, clearly fascinated.

    "That’s good!" Qin Yun quickly left for the Protector Hall to find Granny Ma.

    After arriving at Granny Ma’s quarters, he learned that Long Qiaofeng had vanished for days.

    Worried something was wrong, Qin Yun hurriedly went with Granny Ma to Long Qiaofeng’s room.

    There, they found a note she’d left.

    "For personal reasons, I must return to the Long Family. Qin Yun, thank you for your help! But I’ve let you down."

    These brief words made Qin Yun and Granny Ma piece things together.

    "Granny Ma, did anyone suspicious in the Protector Hall approach Qiaofeng recently? That person must be connected to the Long Family!" Qin Yun frowned. "The Long Family lost one of their dragons and think Qiaofeng had something to do with it. They must be searching for her everywhere!"

    Granny Ma thought for a moment and said, "There’s one guy... He’s at the Martial King realm. His father is Emperor Wu, and he used to oversee trade relations with the Long Family. Before the Long Family left the Immortal Armory City, they were on good terms."

    "It must be him who said something to Qiaofeng, making her leave suddenly!" Qin Yun felt a surge of panic—Long Qiaofeng returning to the Long Family could end badly.

    Previously, Long Qiaofeng had mentioned she had no ties left to the Long Family.

    Her sudden return meant the Long Family must have threatened her in some way—likely using someone she cared about.

    "Granny Ma, have your people look into it quietly. I need to know where that father and son are!" Qin Yun demanded.

    Granny Ma took out a message conch.

    Soon, she learned their whereabouts: "Emperor Wu is still in the Immortal Armory Palace, while his son is gambling at a casino in the city. He’s been on a gambling spree lately!"

    "It seems that guy came into money. I’ll go find him! You take people to locate Emperor Wu!" Qin Yun said coldly.

    "Di Mingchun has only recently become a Martial King, but he’s still strong. Can you handle him alone?" Granny Ma worried. "And that casino has many Martial Kings... It’s likely controlled by the Long Family behind the scenes!"

    "I’ll go alone!" Qin Yun insisted.

    After getting the details from Granny Ma, he disguised himself briefly and left the Immortal Armory Palace.

    In the Immortal Armory City, with Bingxing and Bao Changshou backing him, Qin Yun only needed to avoid going too far.

    Late at night, in the eastern district of the city, a nine-story building was lit up brightly, bustling with activity.

    This was the largest casino in the Immortal Armory City—Pan Long Xuan!

    Upon arriving, Qin Yun headed straight for the ninth floor.

    Qin Yun had previously asked Jian Linglong to help purchase a large number of star cores, and his purple crystal coins were almost all spent. Now, he only had ten million purple crystal coins left. However, after presenting these coins, he was still qualified to enter the ninth floor.

    The ninth floor was very spacious and bright, with a huge gambling table!

    Upon arriving, Qin Yun was startled. He had thought this place only gambled with purple crystal coins, but to his surprise, the table held everything from limb-enhancing elixirs to Xuan artifacts and spirit weapons!

    On Pan Long Xuan's ninth floor, they'd gamble on anything—absolutely anything!

    As soon as Qin Yun entered, he spotted a round-faced middle-aged man with a small mustache—that was Di Mingchun!
